Chapter 792: Soul Projection, Triple Focus, Black Ape Symbol Mastery, and Red Dog Alchemy

"Qu Shidi, aren't you going to see your father?"

On the slope of Great Green Mountain, several figures stood together, gazing at the courtyard where the Sect Master was handling daily affairs.

Two silhouettes walked side by side and entered the courtyard.

Yuan Yijun looked at Qu Jiu in confusion, but he stared into the distance, his lips tightly pursed, and his face was tense with a sharp outline.

Qu Jiu coldly uttered two words.

"No!"

Yuan Yijun was puzzled. After all, it was his own father, so why refuse to see him?

Regarding the role of "father," she deeply admired him in her heart.

When she was young, her mother passed away early, and it was her father, Yuan Dongsheng, who raised her with utmost love and care.

Even though Yuan Dongsheng had passed away many years ago, she often missed his broad and warm shoulders.

Therefore, she couldn't understand why Qu Shidi's father had returned, but he didn't take the initiative to meet him.

Could it be because of the woman who came back with Qu Lingjun?

...

As they approached, Qu Lingjun paused slightly and turned to the woman, saying, "Qiner, wait for me for a moment."

Meng Qin'er nodded and encouragingly said, "Relax, since your master has allowed you to return to the sect, it means that he doesn't hold the past against you."

Qu Lingjun smiled, and he had thought the same.

Just as he was about to enter, a tall figure walked out of the house.

Qu Lingjun's eyes lit up, "Yilong!"

Zeng Yilong was initially startled, but then he revealed a delighted smile and grabbed Qu Lingjun's arm.

"Shixiong, you're finally back!"

Qu Lingjun laughed, "Yes, I'm back. If you ever need any pills in the future, just come to the Dan Yuan to find me."

Within the immortal sect, the seniority and titles were usually based on one's cultivation level, emphasizing strength and respect.

However, there were occasional exceptions.

For instance, Qu Lingjun, despite only being at the Foundation Establishment Stage, was lower than Zeng Yilong's third-stage Body Tempering cultivation. But due to Qu Lingjun's high status in Luo Tian Zong as the only direct disciple of Supreme Elder Luo Chen, even if someone had superior talent or faster cultivation progress, their titles would still follow the established custom.

At this moment, upon hearing the words "Dan Yuan," Zeng Yilong's expression changed slightly.

Qu Lingjun hadn't noticed and curiously asked, "Where are you going?"

Zeng Yilong coughed and pointed to the slope of the mountain.

"The Sect Master has assigned me a task to retrieve a batch of Talisman Paper from the Divine Symbol Sect's Supreme Elder. By the way, I'm also taking the younger disciples to broaden their horizons."

"Our younger disciples have already experienced many battles, and they are no strangers to the outside world..."

Qu Lingjun was initially smiling, but as he followed Zeng Yilong's gaze, he faintly saw a solemn and cold face that resembled his own by six or seven parts.

The remaining three parts were exactly like the face in his memory.

"It's Xiao Jiu!"

Even without spending every day together, a son would never be a stranger to his father.

"Yilong, please take care of Qu Jiu."

Zeng Yilong patted his sturdy chest and said, "There's no need for Shixiong's reminder; this is my duty. I'll go ahead first, and we'll catch up when I return!"

"Yes, we'll catch up when you return!"

Qu Lingjun's smile gradually faded, but he didn't show any annoyance at Qu Jiu's coldness.

Qu Jiu was his son with Mi Li, and even his name originated from the phrase "Qu Mi Cheng Jiu" (Qu and Mi become Jiu).

However, Qu Lingjun had abandoned his wife and child to join Glory Palace, neglecting his fatherly duties. It was only natural for Qu Jiu to resent him.

"Husband, Li Zongzhu is calling for you."

A soft female voice sounded from behind.

Qu Lingjun sighed and lifted his robe, entering the house.

"Lingjun is back..."

Li Yingzhang smiled and greeted him without any awkwardness.

Qu Lingjun also managed to force a smile.

"It's about time I returned. At my age, it's difficult to find peace outside. Coming back, I can also contribute to the sect. I've made significant progress in pill refining, and I can help our Luo Tian Sect find a new source of wealth."

Li Yingzhang waved his hand, "There's no rush."

He looked outside, "What about Meng Daoyou?"

Upon mentioning Meng Qin'er, Qu Lingjun's face softened.

"She doesn't want to leave me, so she pleaded with the Grand Palace Master. She will return to Luo Tian Zong with me. After I pass away in four or five decades, she will go back to Glory Palace. I hope you can approve of this."

Li Yingzhang suddenly understood and sighed, expressing their deep love for each other.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

Meng Qin'er was one of the younger generation in Glory Palace with exceptional talent. At a young age, she had already reached the Jin Dan stage. Now that she had come to Luo Tian Zong with Qu Lingjun, even if it was only for four or five decades, it would be enough to strengthen Luo Tian Zong.

With Sima Wenjie's removal, there were only eight Jin Dan stage cultivators among the Nine Great Jin Dan of Luo Tian Zong.

Meng Qin'er's arrival would perfectly fill that gap.

Naturally, he wouldn't refuse, and he immediately agreed to Qu Lingjun's request.

With his Dao companion staying, Qu Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he curiously asked, "Where is my master?"

Li Yingzhang replied, "The Supreme Elder is preparing to refine the Incarnation Pill and may not have time to see you."

Qu Lingjun's eyes lit up, "Master, are you going to refine pills? I heard that the Incarnation Pill is extremely complex to refine. Back then, Qing Dan Valley mobilized the entire sect's power and even specially invited my Master to help, but they still failed. I returned just in time and can help Master."

He spoke quickly and urgently, yet with a confident pride!

His current pill refinement technique had already reached the level of refining Tier 3 pills, not inferior to some of the elders in Qing Dan Valley back then.

He was confident that he had the ability to assist his Master.

However.

"That won't be necessary, Qi Yi has already gone to assist the Grand Elder."

"I also..."

Qu Lingjun looked at Li Yingzhang's eyes, which were as deep as an abyss, and hesitated when he wanted to offer to help.

He tentatively said, "Since Qi Yi is helping, there should be fewer people in the Dan Academy. I can go to the Dan Academy to lend a hand."

This time, he didn't act as presumptuously as he did when he met Zeng Yilong, treating the Dan Academy as his own territory.

Because he felt that something was amiss.

Indeed!

Li Yingzhang coughed and shook his head, "You don't need to go to the Dan Academy either. The sect has already arranged a Tier 3 Cultivation Cave Mansion for you. Just go and cultivate in seclusion."

Qu Lingjun was a bit incredulous.

"Is this your idea, or Master's?"

Li Yingzhang didn't answer and simply handed him a storage bag.

With his current identity, there was no need for roundabout explanations.

This evasive response meant that the answer was...

Qu Lingjun's face gradually turned pale.

...

Although Bai Li Qingchuan wasn't large, it had a solid Tier 3 Spirit Vein.

It was this decent Spirit Vein that nurtured the Hundred Mile Medicine Field.

After Luo Tian Sect arrived, they opened up five Cultivation Cave Mansions with Tier 3 Spirit Energy concentration for Golden Core cultivators' daily cultivation.

Eight or nine Golden Core cultivators could take turns using them, barely managing to make do.

When Luo Chen returned, he didn't choose a Tier 3 Cave Mansion.

He merely selected a scenic spot on Daqing Mountain as his temporary residence.

Currently, he was in a state of consolidating his cultivation realm, with a large amount of unrefined spell power within his body. This was the time when he comprehended the true meaning of flourishing and withering, and the Primordial Qi infused by heaven and earth.

Moreover, he had a large number of high-grade Hongyuan Pills that he had refined earlier, so he didn't lack Spirit Energy replenishment for the time being.

At this moment, two figures were busy inside the cave mansion.

"Little Qi, use the pill refinement technique I taught you to refine the Purple Monkey Flowers again. These Purple Monkey Flowers sent by the Divine Symbol Sect have been stored for too long, and their medicinal power is not concentrated enough."

"Okay!"

Qi Yi walked to the shelf where the Purple Monkey Flowers were kept and took them out one by one.

After making the preparations, he suddenly asked, "Grand Elder, why didn't you let Qu Lingjun come to help? I heard that his pill refinement technique has reached a high level and is not inferior to some Tier 3 pill refiners."

Luo Chen, who was cutting the Five Elements Lotus Platform, asked without looking up, "What, do you think you're not up to the task?"

Qi Yi quickly shook his head. Being able to help Luo Chen refine pills and observe the refinement of the Incarnation Pill was a dream come true for him.

How could he miss this opportunity due to a lack of confidence?

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I just want one more person to help you, to share some of the burden. This way, the success rate of refining the Incarnation Pill will be even higher."

"Don't worry, refining the Incarnation Pill is not a problem for me. Don't overthink it, just focus on the preparations! This experience will greatly benefit you."

"Oh."

Qi Yi didn't ask further and concentrated on processing the Purple Monkey Flowers.

Luo Chen's small knife moved back and forth on the Five Elements Lotus Platform, cutting off pieces of the Lotus Platform connected to the orifices.

In his heart, he already had an answer to Qi Yi's earlier question.

"That Lingjun kid has poor aptitude. In recent years, he has spent too much energy on pill refinement for Glory Palace, causing him to be of a certain age yet still stuck at the late Foundation Establishment stage."

"Now that he's back, we can't let him be distracted."

"Choose a Spirit Vein, and cultivate diligently for fifty years. Perhaps before his lifespan ends, he will have one more chance at the Golden Core stage. If he succeeds, his lifespan will double, and there will be infinite possibilities."

"I hope he understands my intentions and isn't blinded by other things."

Sighing in his heart, Luo Chen continued to cut the Five Elements Lotus Platform.

Fu Lao had given him two Five Elements Lotus Platforms without lotus seeds, and with his pill refinement technique, he could refine the Incarnation Pill twenty times.

But with his previous success, he could save one Five Elements Lotus Platform and keep it for himself.

Han Zhan had already told him about the wonders of this object back in the Demon Annihilation Land.

In fact, the Five Elements Lotus Platform was not meant to be used as a medicinal ingredient.

The lotus seeds contained the essence of the five elements and were too extreme, making them more suitable for forging.

The Lotus Platform itself was extremely transparent and could filter out impurities from the Primordial Qi, often used by Nascent Soul True Cultivators as an auxiliary tool for daily meditation.

In the Fiery Refinement Hell, Luo Chen had once borrowed that top-grade Lotus Platform for a short period of cultivation, greatly advancing his cultivation.

After experiencing its effects, he couldn't forget it.

The two Lotus Platforms given by Fu Lao were not of particularly high quality, but they were just barely usable.

Several days later, Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, resting his eyes and preparing for his upcoming pill refinement.

His mind, however, was bustling with activity.

"Currently, there are many complex matters to attend to. Although they aren't particularly challenging, they are quite troublesome."

"Even if I can focus on multiple tasks at once, I still lack the ability to create sufficient clones."

"But since I've refined two soul fragments, if I can send them out to handle tasks, it might save me a lot of time and accelerate progress in various aspects."

At this thought, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Soul fragments couldn't stay outside for long and needed a host body.

With Han Zhan's example, Luo Chen might be able to emulate him to some extent.

"I need two puppets!"

As for puppets, he had them!

In his storage ring, there was a White Tiger puppet.

However, its grade was too high, and it contained a spirit, making it beyond the control of his current soul fragments.

After years of research, Luo Chen was somewhat confident in subduing it, but his cultivation base was insufficient. Forcibly controlling it might lead to backlash, which was too risky.

"I'll ask Yuanjiang to come over!"

With a thought, Luo Chen sent a message through his divine sense.

Soon after, Qin Yuanjiang arrived at Luo Chen's cave mansion.

When Luo Chen mentioned his desire for two puppets, Qin Yuanjiang didn't hesitate. He took out a large pile of puppets from his storage bag.

Seeing the array of puppets laid out in a row, Luo Chen was taken aback.

"So many?"

Qin Yuanjiang smiled slightly, "They are all crudely made, intended for detonation when facing enemies."

Luo Chen understood; these puppets were far from being top-notch, and not even in human form.

Since that was the case, there was no need for politeness.

He casually picked a Red Dog puppet and a Black Ape puppet.

After Luo Chen's selection, Qin Yuanjiang put away the other puppets and curiously observed Luo Chen.

"Elder, are you also proficient in puppet techniques?"

"I can't claim proficiency, but I have some knowledge. Moreover, my method of controlling puppets..."

As Luo Chen spoke, he closed his eyes right in front of Qin Yuanjiang.

The next moment, two faint lights flashed from his forehead, directly entering the bodies of the Red Dog and Black Ape.

Crack! Crack!

The Red Dog opened its eyes, and the Black Ape looked around.

Qin Yuanjiang's heart trembled; this shocking scene was clearly the soul-splitting technique recorded in the Cloudfall Sect.

With his previous status, he hadn't even come close to such a method.

But not long ago, Luo Chen had given him three volumes of scriptures that included the Soul Splitting Technique, allowing him to glimpse this method's potential.

On the lotus platform, Luo Chen's main body slowly opened his eyes.

"Yuanjiang, do you understand my puppet technique now?"

Qin Yuanjiang took a deep breath and slowly nodded.

It was evident that Elder Luo had obtained some of Cloudfall Sect's cultivation methods and cultivated them to an extremely profound level, allowing him to split his soul into two.

By openly demonstrating this to Qin Yuanjiang, Elder Luo showed his trust.

"I was a close friend of your parents, so I will naturally look after you."

"Now that you've joined the Luo Tian Sect, you don't have to worry about your future path. Whatever Cloudfall Sect could teach you, I can also teach you."

"Rest assured and focus on cultivating those puppet techniques. Perhaps, in the future, you can pass down the puppet lineage within the Luo Tian Sect."

Luo Chen spoke with earnest encouragement in his eyes.

While Luo Chen didn't possess Cloudfall Sect's complete set of three cultivation methods and two techniques, he had something else.

He had the Dust Essence Technique, which incorporated the Locking Bead Curtain, the Opening the Bamboo Technique passed down by Han Zhan, and the Soul Splitting Technique. Together, these three cultivation methods formed a path for soul cultivation.

Although there might be some imperfections, when combined with Luo Chen's Mystic Passage Pill and Great Soul Pill, it became almost flawless.

If Qin Yuanjiang diligently cultivated this set of methods and delved into puppet creation and control, he might be able to restore the might of Cloudfall Sect's puppets.

Facing Luo Chen's earnest gaze, Qin Yuanjiang respectfully bowed.

"Yuanjiang will not disappoint your expectations, Elder!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and asked him to leave.

After Qin Yuanjiang's departure, Luo Chen's gaze fell upon the two puppets.

Within them, he had placed two soul fragments. Even the weaker one, after consuming a large number of Great Soul Pills, had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Since they shared the same origin, their minds were connected. Whatever the puppets did, learned, or experienced, Luo Chen's main body was fully aware.

The only drawback was probably the lack of an energy source!

"In the end, they aren't true external incarnations without Nascent Souls, and they lack power."

Luo Chen inexplicably recalled the Shi Ju Thunder Dao Avatar he had glimpsed in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

That avatar, with its flesh and blood body and a second Nascent Soul, possessed great power and abilities! It was a thousand times better than these hastily created puppet incarnations.

Shaking his head, Luo Chen knew envy was futile.

Luo Chen raised his hand and released two bursts of spiritual light, infusing dozens of high-grade spirit stones into the puppets' bodies to serve as their energy source.

Furthermore, he opened his mouth and spat out a wisp of withering and flourishing fire, which the Red Dog puppet immediately absorbed.

"Black Ape, study the Symbolic Script Path. Understand the theory and familiarize yourself with the drawing method."

"Red Dog, follow me to refine pills!"

Without further words, the two puppets, understanding each other's intentions, began to act.
